The federal tax code is more than 70,000 pages of regulations, loopholes, and special interest giveaways. For the average American, this complexity is a huge burden that costs billions of dollars every year to comply with. Small businesses, the backbone of our economy, also suffer under this undue burden.

I believe taxpayers deserve a tax code that is simple to understand and easy to comply with. I will work to reform our nation’s tax code and strive to use reform to lower taxes for all Americans. The less the government takes from its citizens, the more money Americans can use to provide for their families, save for the future, and grow our economy.
